Simple old door

On the day before we left Riyadh for good, we were provided with a driver to take us wherever we wanted to go. One place was the National Museum of Saudi Arabia for a final visit.

Another old door in a display at the museum. As people who followed my Saudi galleries would know, the Saudis are masters in creating superb doors and gates, a tradition that had to have started with ancient ones like this.

Elaborate old door, posted earlier:

Would be a nice welcoming doorway. Love the green. V

Interesting find. Simple but nicely detailed and it does look like a door you might see in Santa Fe.

Simplistic, but beautiful in detail and color. Wonderfully captured, Helen! V

This one looks quite Native American to me! Especially with the fringed quiver next to it.

looks a bit like folk art, and as such is attractive and fascinating...what a large handle..

I do love all the old doors (and most of the new ones you showed us, too). This looks very old, simple but beautiful. V
